The Ultimate Dream Car

http://www.caparo-t1.com/

Saw this car on Top Gear a while back. The specs on this car are fantastic. And it looks gorgeous (to my eye). It'll outrun and supercar on the road (even the Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo) and undercut their prices significantly. Plus it gets gas mileage way better than our RX-8s.

Amazing.

Pretty deceptive numbers for a "supercar"... a 500 hp engine in a go-kart so they call it "1,000 bhp-per-ton" to sound more impressive. It sounds more dangerous to me then anything else.

There's a blood red Lotus Exige with black wheels and a black spoiler about 1.5miles from my house parked in a dealer parking lot everyday. And everyday, on my way to campus I pass it and dream.

This is the dealer: www.dontdrivejunk.com

Maybe next time you should read the first post in the thread. Nobody asked what your ultimate dream car is

Looks nice but should probably stay on the track. Can't imagine some drunk, rich guy living if they got in a crash with that thing.
